Ruck formed. The Old Dragons RFC players are pushing forward. The ref is shouting at them to stay back, but a couple of them just don't listen. Penalty for Rc barlad. Old Dragons RFC had enough warnings, so they can't complain about that one.

65

Manole Hriţcu powers through the defence. He's caught by a covering tackle and his attempted offload to Manuel Iancu is misguided.

64

Rc barlad have retained possession as their players were quick and picked up the loose ball. They'll be able to attack again

It's a scrum to Rc barlad. It's wheeling around as the ball is fed in, but Rc barlad still win the ball.

61

Timoleon Yfantis stumbles on a patch of uneven turf as he goes to pass the ball and Kai Mavromattes has to reach down to try to take the ball on his shoelaces..Kai Mavromattes can't take that low ball cleanly, did he knock it on, or did it come off his foot? That is for the ref to decide.

60

It's a scrum for Old Dragons RFC. Under pressure the front rows come up, but Old Dragons RFC clear the ball quickly and look to attack.

Good lineout for Rc barlad. The hooker finds his man perfectly, and Orlando Andrés wins the ball in the air.

57

Nice breakthrough by Alexandre Fontserè who gets low and charges. He cannons into Manuel Iancu like a stampeding bull, but Manuel Iancu wraps him up and manages to bring him down. Looks like we finally know what happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object.

56

Turnover. Old Dragons RFC now has possession and the backs are ready for a new attack.

55

Rc barlad's scrum half is smashed by Timoleon Yfantis. That run was so telegraphed that the postal service want to charge him for it!

54

It's a scrum to Rc barlad. It's wheeling around as the ball is fed in, but Rc barlad still win the ball.

Hisashi Shirai signals to his forwards to stay behind the ball and sends a hanging kick in their direction. Both Mugur Amihaiesei and Xylo Bekyros jump for the catch, but both players have misjudged the flight of the ball and it sails over their heads. Xylo Bekyros is the first to react, scooping up the loose ball on the first bounce.

Handing off the attempted tackle of Eustace Petrohilos, Orlando Andrés charges over the line. They've gone to the video ref, but the Rc barlad players are celebrating already. Orlando Andrés knows it was a try. The replays confirm it and the try is awarded! 0 - 19

Oh no! There is chaos on the field as the players start a punch up after a high tackle by Hieronymus Kezdoglou on Boris Br& Frć. Someone is going to be in trouble here as the referee consults with his touch judge.

Scrum. Old Dragons RFC with the put-in. The ball goes in, and the forwards begin to push. The scrum is starting to turn. That's some great work, especially by the Rc barlad tighthead. It's gone past 90 degrees! Great work by Rc barlad, who now get the put-in at the next scrum.

Boris Br& Frć takes the kickoff, launching the ball high into the air over Old Dragons Park. Orlando Andrés positions himself well, and takes the ball in the air right in front of Tibalt Antonopoulos. Good hands from the Rc barlad player there.

It's not been the best start for the home supporters, but still plenty of time for them to find something to cheer about!

Look at that curl! Boris Br& Frć certainly has a very different kicking technique, but it sure does work.

34

Nice work by Rc barlad. Felix Budeanu dummies right and then passes the ball left to Manole Hriţcu. He gets the ball and spins out of Xylo Bekyros's tackle, dropping over the line for 5 points. Lovely play!

Ruck. Rc barlad get the ball from that one and their scrumhalf can be heard frantically giving his instructions for a new attack.

27

Rc barlad have an overlap on the right. Looks like they've spotted it too. Orlando Andrés fires a quick pass off to Avraam Bivolaru who flicks the ball on to Claude Barbe. He's rushed the pass though, and the ball evades the grasp of Claude Barbe. That was a good scoring opportunity gone to waste.
